– I have received this information as well, it is of course extremely serious when a police officer is injured in the line of duty. Now is too early to say anything about the course of events and must refer to the healthcare and the police to provide more information, says Gunnar Strömmer.
Serious event
The Minister of Justice cannot currently draw any conclusions about the police work situation based on today’s event.
What do you say about the police work situation?
– In general, of course, it is the case that 37,000 police employees go on duty every day, many of them are out in the field and guarantee citizens safety and security. And in many cases it is a vulnerable position. Every time something like this happens, it is extremely serious and regrettable.
